Which Method Should You Choose?

Two Ways to Get a Birth Certificate in Virginia

The Old-Fashioned Way:

First, you must download and fill out the state’s application form. You will be expected to provide a legible copy of your ID; please note the list of acceptable identifying documents printed on the form.

Each Virginia birth certificate copy costs $12. Make out a check or money order payable to State Health Department.

Mail the above to the following address:

Office of Vital RecordsP.O. Box 1000 Richmond, VA 23218-1000

Turnaround time is around 1-2 weeks from the time the request is received.

The New Way:

As a matter of fact, the online ordering form on FastBirthCertificates.com takes only about five minutes to complete. Once your application has been submitted, we’ll keep you informed about the status of your order, up until the time you receive your Virginia birth certificates, which will be sent via email.

What You'll Need?

Virginia requires the applicant to submit identification, a signature, and a date in order to receive a birth certificate. Identification must be government issued, such as a driver license, state ID, or passport.

Virginia will only ship the certificate to the address listed on the ID. If shipping to that address is not an option, please let us know! Instructions are below:
